HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Junkers Ju-87G2 Stuka, flown by Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel and marked as T6+BB, was one of the most iconic aircraft of the Eastern Front during World War II. Rudel, flying with 10.(Pz)/SG 2 "Immelmann," utilized this tank-busting variant in the summer of 1944 during the intense battles near Husi, Romania. Equipped with two 37mm BK 37 cannons mounted under its wings, the Ju-87G2 was designed specifically to combat the growing Soviet armored threat, targeting tanks and other heavily armored vehicles with devastating precision.
In August 1944, the German forces were engaged in desperate defensive operations as Soviet troops advanced relentlessly through Romania. The Ju-87G2s of SG 2 were instrumental in delaying the Soviet advance, and Rudel’s T6+BB became a symbol of resilience and skill. Operating under constant threat from Soviet fighters and anti-aircraft artillery, Rudel’s sorties were marked by bold tactics and incredible accuracy. During the battles around Husi, he contributed to the destruction of numerous Soviet tanks and vehicles, helping to temporarily halt the enemy's momentum.
Despite its aging design and the increasing dominance of Allied and Soviet air forces, the Ju-87G2 excelled in its specialized anti-tank role. Rudel, who by this time had already earned a reputation as the Luftwaffe’s most decorated pilot, used T6+BB to add to his staggering record of over 500 tank kills. His fearless leadership and the effectiveness of the Ju-87G2 cemented both in the annals of military aviation history, showcasing the unique role of the Stuka in modern warfare.
This 1:72 scale model is a must-have for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. With its intricate detailing, including the distinctive markings of 10.(Pz)/SG 2, this replica captures the essence of one of the most renowned aircraft of World War II. A tribute to both the aircraft’s engineering and the legendary pilot who flew it, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the Eastern Front.
